Please don't spread misinformation. Zbrush actually doesn't use your GPU at all, which is why it runs so passably on average computers compared to most tools of the trade. For Zbrush you'll therefore get more benefit from a stronger CPU, and it generally even benefits from having more cores available as the sculpting…
So in regards to working freelance I would first and foremost say your portfolio is EVERYTHING!!! or 99% of it. I tried to do freelance a few years ago and failed hard, barely any income, crappy clients trying to underpay me massively. That was because my work was not good enough to attract better clients.

Its like cameras and megapixels, more doesn't really mean better. LED is just the…
In the context of long thin triangles, it refers to the waste of shading processing when you have a surface that's not triangulated with care. As a necessary step, a GPU will process triangles in a way that is efficient when rendering the interior of triangles, but not so efficient when rendering the edges of triangles.…
Creating and assigning new user properties is such a persistent change and there's no need for it. I've already suggested (at tech-artists) you use a custom listview comparer as the info is already contained in the list itself, check the code again for other suggestions (functions getIDCount and getItems; the rest is just…
